PBS Gun Violence Week

This week PBS has aired a series of shows about gun violence. I have to say I was very surprised about how they approached the topic. I was expecting a gun bashing show and didn't get it. Instead they focused on the social problems, mental health issues and the lack of any true understanding of the roots of gun violence. Like many good TV shows it raised far more questions than it answered. It even pointed out that military style guns were not the big problem.
Much of the show was centered around the Detroit area. Detroit has an almost complete gun ban but is still rated an the muder capital of the US. While they made no judgements about the gun ban, they did point out how useless it has been.
This was not a single show but a series of shows from different PBS producers. Try to watch if they do reruns in your area.
